Re: Breaking News: Redskins' Sean Taylor, 24, Dead After Shooting

Re: Breaking News: Redskins' Sean Taylor, 24, Dead After Shooting

What I would like to know is how these players get envolved with guns in the first place. There is going to bea story with this shooting, and my guess its not going to put him in a good light or the freinds he keeps. Just a hunch on my part.

TC: You know my mama wanted me to be a farmer.

OBJ: My dad wanted me to be a WR.

TC: Well you're better than any player I ever had. And you're the best God damn WR I ever saw. Suit up.

I went over to extremeskins.com to see what it's like over there...& Boy O' Boy....The Giants MB ratedby all THEIR accounts we arethe LOWEST of the LOW Scumbags by some of our posters. They had a few comments about what Philthy was sayin' but we beat them out by a long shot (or so it seems) The Cowpukes they say were the best of the lot!!! (I expect that though from all the druggies & criminals that came from that Org...they're obviously a little more tolerant)

Comments like "what do you expect from NY..."

Not that I reallycare what other fans think of us, but after reading some of the posts here on ST, I knew we were in for a bashing...

Let's show a little respect for a dead 24 year old kid... regardless of his prior history...

"Let's show a little respect for a dead 24 year old kid... regardless of his prior history..."

Agreed! But there is a history that needs to be adressed to prevent this needless slaughter.

An All-American at the University of Miami, Taylor was drafted by the Redskins with the fifth overall selection in 2004. Coach Joe Gibbs called it "one of the most researched things" he's ever done, but the problems soon began. Taylor fired his agent, then skipped part of the NFL's mandatory rookie symposium, drawing a $25,000 fine. Driving home late from a party during the season, he was pulled over and charged with drunken driving. The case was dismissed in court, but by then it had become a months-long distraction for the team.

Taylor also was fined at least seven times for late hits, uniform violations and other infractions over his first three seasons, including a $17,000 penalty for spitting in the face of Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman during a playoff game in January 2006.

Meanwhile, Taylor endured a yearlong legal battle after he was accused in 2005 of brandishing a gun at a man during a fight over allegedly stolen all-terrain vehicles near Taylor's home. He eventually pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to 18 months' probation.
